SPEECH DELIVERED BY VICT0H HUGO At the Grave of a French Befagoe in the Island of leney. In the last day of April the French refugees in the iile of Jersey folio wed one of their comrade to the field of final repute. Victor Hugo bad been requested to pronounce, in tho name of all, the last firuwell. Hii discourse waa as follows : Citizens: Tho mnn to whom we have come to any the last farewoll, .lean Hosquet, of l'arn et Garonne, was a noble soldier of Democracy. We have seen hiin,anintlxible exile, waste away sorrowfully among us. A yearning for home was gnawing at his heart; he felt that the recollection of nil he hud left behind him was slowly poisoning him; ho might have soen again hit absent friends, the beloved places his native city, his house. He had but to Buy a word. Tuo execrable humiliation which M. Bonaparte calls am-nesty, or pardon, was offered to him; ho honestly re jected tt, and ho is dead. He was only thirty-four years of age. And now, them he lies. I will not add praises to this simple life, to this grand death. Let him repose in pence in this obscure grave, where the enrth will soon cover him, and whence his soul bus gone to seek the eternal hopes of tho tomb. Let him sb-ep here, this republican; nnd let ihn people know that there are still proud and pure hearts devoted to its cause. Let the republic know that mnn will perish rather than forsake her. Lot France know that men die became they can see her no more. Let him sleep, this patriot, in the land ol the stranger! And wo, his companions in conflict and adversity we who closed his eyes if bis native city, his family, his friends, ask us, "YVherois he J" we wilt answer, 11 Dead in exile 1" as the soldiery, when the name of Latour d'Ativergne was called, answered, " Dead on the field of honor!" Citizens ! To-day in France apojttacy is joyous. The old land of the 14th of July and of the 10th of August assists at the hideous spread of treason, and ut the triumphal march of traitors. Not oneunworthy action which is notimmediately rewarded. A mayor breaks the lawhe is made a prefect; a soldier dishonors his flag he lsmade a gonerali a priest soils his religion he is made a bishop ; a judge prostrates justice he is made a senator; a prince, an adverturer, commit ovary crime, from the base trick which would shame a pick pocket, to the cruelly which would umkoauassa in thudder and he become an emperor. Around and about these men are the sounds of triumnhal mu sic, boquets, and dancing, addresses, applause, and genuflexions, (servility cuutci to congratulate ignominy.uuizensi 1 nose men navo their festivals I well, we, too, have ours. When one of the companions of our banishment, wasted by home-sickneis, exhausted by the slow fover of old habits broken up and atVections lacerated, gives way at last, and dies after having drunk to the dregs all tho agonies of proscription, wo follow his bier covered with a black cloth; we come to the aide of his grave; wo, too, kneel, not to success, but to the tomb; we! bend over our buried brother. and we say to him: "Friend, we congratulate theo because tuuu hast tiecn valiant ; we congratulate thee because thuu hast been ceueroiis and inlruoid : wk o jngratulato then because thou hast been faithful ; wo congratulate thee because thou bnst ottered up to thy republican faith the last breath of thy body, the last pulsation of thy heart; we congratulate thee because thou hast suffered ; we congratulate theo that thou art dead ! " Then we raise our heads again, and we move away, our hearts full of a sombre joy. Nuch are the lostivais oi exiles. 1 his is the nusteru and serene tuo'i which is at the bottom of our souls; nnd in the pros ence of this sepulchre, of this grief which seems to wallow up a man, the presence of this appearance nf annihilation, we feel ourselvei strengthened in our principles and in our convictions. The man whose mind is made np never treads more firmly than nn tbu shifting soil of the tomb. Anil our eyes fixed noon this being who has faded away, upon this shadow which has vanished, we, unshaken believers, glorify that which is immortal, and that which is eternal l.iborty and God. Yes, God! Never should a tomb be cloied until this great, this living word has fallen into it ! Tho dead claim it, and we are not the men to refuse it. Let the free and religious people amongst whom we live understand we'l that the men of progress, tho men of democracy, iho men nf revolution, know that the destiny of the soul is two fold, and that the abnegation they show in this life proves how profoundly llhiy rely upon another. Their faith in this grand nuil mysterious futnro resists even the repulsive spectacle which the enslaved Catholic clerny has presented since tho second of De cember. At this mornont, Roman papism startles ihe human conscience. Yes, I say it and my heart is full nf bitterness when 1 think of so much ahiectiiess and shame; these priests who, lor money, lor palaces, for crosses and mitres, for the love of temporal goods, bless and glorify perjury, murder and treason these church-ei, where T I) turn t are suns in honor of crowned crime yes, these churebe aud these priests would bo enough lo shake the strongest convictions in the firmest souls, if beyond the church we did not see a heaven, and above the priest a God. And here,citieu, on the throshold of this open tomb -in tho midst of this thoughtful throng which surrounds this grave the moment has come to soiiud a solemn word, that may takB rout aud spring up in every conscience. Citiiensl At this prosant hour this fatal hour which will be marked in times to come the principle of absolutism, the old principle of the past triumphs all over Europe. It triumphs as it should triumph, by the word, the axe, and the cord ; by massacres ond musketry ; by tortures and the scstlold. Despotism, that MoW-lt surrounded by human bones, celebrates her learlul mysteries in open sunlight, tinder tho ponim cate of a Haynatt, a Bona parte, and a Rndotzkyi it Hungary, the gallows; in Lombard v, the sallows, in Sicily, the gallows; in Franco, the guillotine, transportation, aud exile. In the Pnjwl Slates atone I rite the Pope, who calls himself la roi de douce in the Papal 8 tales alono, in the last three years, sixteen hundred aud forty patriots (tho figures are authentic) have perished by shooting or banging, without counting the innumerable many who are buried alive in dungeons. At this moment the continent, as iu the worst periods of hi lory, is encumbered with scaffolds nod corpses; and if, when the day comes, revolution should seek to moke for herself a Hag of tho winding beets of the victims, the shadow of that black tlau would oover all Europe. This blood, which is (lowing in streams and tu torrents all tins blood, democrats, is your.

The day of uiuoyy revolutions nas passed ; lor what remains to be done the indomitable law of progress will suilice. And, moreover, let us be tranquil; everything combats for us in the great battles we have still to fight battles, whose evident necessity does not disturb the serenity of iho thiukor battles, in which revolutionary energy will equal the desperation of monarchy battles, in which might, joined with right, will overthrow violence allied to usurpation superb, glorious, enthusiastic, decisive battles, the event of which cannot bo doubtful, and which will botheTolhiacs, the Hastings, and the Auterlitzesof democracy. Citizens! the epoch of tho dusoluiion of the Old World has arrived. The law of Providence has condemned the old despotisms. Time, the shadowy grave-digger is burying them Bach declining day pluugos them deeper into nothingness. God is throwing years upon thrones as we throw spades full of oarth upon a coiliu. And now, brothers, as we separate, let us shout the cry oflriumpb; let us shout the cry of awakening! It is near the grave that ono should speak of tho resurrection. Yos, indeed, tho future, and impending future. I repeat it, promises to us the victory of the democratic idea in France; the future promises to us the victory of the social idea. It promises more: it promises that in overy climate, under every sun, upon every continent, in America as well as in Rurope.au end shall otime to oppression and to slavery. After the hard trials we ure experiencing, what we want is not only the emancipation oft hid or that class of men which has suffered long, theHoolition of this or that right all this wo shall huvo; but this is not enough. What we must have, and what we shall gut, never doubt it what I, for my part, from the depth of this darkness of exile contemplate with rapture is tho deliverance of every nation, tho enfranchisement of all mankind ! Friends, our sufferings give us a claim upon Providence. God owes us a reword. Ho is a faithful debtor wo shall receive it. Let us then cherish a manly faith, and mako oar sacrifice with gladness. Oppressed of all nations, offer up your wounds. Poles, otferyour misery; Hungarians, offer your gibbet; Italians, offer your cross; j heroic transported brothers of Cayenne, of Africa, offer i your chains; exiles, offer your proscription; andthonti 0 martyr, idler thy death lo the liberty of the human race! Vivt i.a r1'udmiuk ! THE CHINESE REVOLT. From a file of Hong Kong papers to the 24lh of March, we copy the annexed articles respecting the formidable revolt now spreading through the Chinese Empire. The first in a summary nccmint (from the China Mail) of tho rioo nnd progress nf Iho rebellion ; tliesecoii'J, from tho samu paper, a copy of the Emperor's udict on ilio subject of tho revolt : From tho China Mull of March SI. Tho present rebellions movement we can even now, from our Itmi'ed knowledge, form no just estimate of; and until lately moat people considered it a dinlurbatico originating with a mere band of marauder, having no object in view beyond tho plunder und license of a day. Until very recently, tho sum of what authentic information we possessed did not warrant us iu coming to any other conclusion. Much bands had, since tho days of tho great Coxinga, been of frequent appearance in one part or other of tho Emperor's vast dominions, and of late years they had been remarkably troublesome in the province of Kwatig-tung Canton, directing their energies chiefly to pawnbrokers' shops (often the banking-houses nf China), and oven Iu Iho Government treasuries. Wo can call to mind several gans robberies of this nature, iu which ihe private, residences and public treasuries nf mandarins were most effectually emptied. Hardly less frequent worn tho instances of obnoxious mandarins receiving terrible retribution at tin hands of freebooters; who thus gave to their main object of plunder a sort of meretricious popularity that served litem in pod stead. Oilier cases there were too of largo bodies nf men, become formidable by the spoils o tho sea, lauding on the coast, taking possession of walled towns, and holding litem to ransom: and so completely, nt one season, from these disorders, was native commerce paralyzed, that iu the fertile isluud of Hainan the crops of grain und sugar lay rotting iu the fields, tho customary vessels for their transport having been captured by pi-tates, or remaining idle through fear of capture. From such tow beinnins it is not unlikely ihat the present movement may have arisen : iho transition is easy from a robber to a rebel, and from a rebel to n hero, and perhaps a patriot. Many or most were members of Ihe Triad Hocjely; nnd in this association n successful leader might find the machinery of a politi cal revolution ready to lus hand. Tho professed object of this society is to unsent the Tartar usurper and place a Chinese monarch on the throne : let there be added lo this an infusion of religious etithutiii-m, and we have then iho twu rand requirements of a successful opposition to commuted authority, which noth ing but tlio radical soundness and healthiness of the established order of things is likely to withstand. And mis soundness and Healthiness are wanting. For a long time the rebels seem to have confined themselves to a comparatively remote part of tlio prov ince of Kwang si, and to have contented themselves with levying contributions in money from ihe towns and vilUgea through which they passed ; but two or in roe victories over the wretched levies sent to oppose thetn infused new life and vigor into iheir movements; and, having passed the natural mountainous barrier which separates hwang-si and Iho two adjoining prov-noes from the rest nf China Proper, we find them pass ing with great rapidity through Iho provinces on the other side of this barrier towards tho ancient capital of mo empire, unci exminiing a unity ot design end a tenacity of purpose that betoken tho presence among them of a master spirit. Ami the most novel (en lure of their progress is the display of nn iconoclastic zeal in stratige contrail to the usual Chinese indifference on such subjects; not to ho accounted for by any supposed design to re-establish the monotheism which China, in common with all other nations, in tho earlier and purer unys oi us national exuience no uoum possess u j nor by any Idolatrous association Hint attaches to the pres ent dynasty; for tho image worship ol China was prov alent long belnre Its votaries were compelled to wear tails. The ouly way in which it can he explained is. by supposing the chief himself to have attained some knowledge of the religion of Ihe West, either from books or porsonal instruction, or lliat he has among ins followers and advisers some pro lessors of Mint reliiion. Our latest accounts from Shanghai, mention it as probable that before another packet can be dispatched, Nankin may be no longer garrisoned by the Emperor's troops; thu greatest excitement prevails among the Chinese officials; and the most urgent requisitions are made for troops, ships, and military stores. To men who have an lately traversed about seven hundred miles of country, presenting many natural obstructions. the distance ol some lot) to Kit) more trom Nankin Shanghai, and that if they please on the fair stream of a broad navigable river, is but a step, no formidable a force was never in our neighborhood before, nnd tho it is probably nut their design, as it cannot be their true policy, to molest foreigners, it certainly bhovea us to observe passing events with a very watchful eye, and lo fail in no ronnonablo precaution.

I promised to give you some account of Portugal, one of the most interesting countries of Europe, aud, with Iho exception of the small States in Ihe centre, the least known on our side of the Atlantic. Neither trade nor emigration has brooch t us much into connec tion with it. There are, perhaps, fewer Portuguese In the United States thai) of any other considerable Ruropeau cnuutrv. The Brazils, inhabited and rult d by a people speaking the aume language, and of kindred blood, attract uoarly all emigrants from Ibis country. Portugal is about the size nf Maine, ami has a hun dred inhabitants to each square nulo. Massachusetts. the most densely peopled of the States, has nighty-four inhabitants to the sip in re mile. Its surface is utiliko any thing the trnvoler observes in our own oougtry. it is neither mountainous nor level. The only portion of it which I have personally seen the central part of the Atlantic side, from tho Tagus north about a hundred miles to the Mo nd ego-has some lofty and bold mountains, but generally wenrs the appearance of an originally undulating sur face, deeply cut and turn by floods. The principal roads lie along the higher ridges, and Ihe unlive forests are nearly removed, so that you havo lcan;uu alter lenguo, an almost boundless landscape heloro and behind you, and on either hand. ! From this lerial, free, and of ten wild and grand pas see alone the highroad, where tor Hours you meet no fellow-traveler, and hardly any living thing, unless it be a hawk, sailing far above yon, or a lizard sunning himself in your path, you suddenly descend, many hundred feel, to a cluster of bright white houses wiifi an ancient church and a ruinous convent among them, upon the sides of an unfailing stream. Here, even iu midsummer, when all the upper country is parched anil cracking with a drought that literally burns up every green thing, you aro delighted with a fresh verdure, wilh the Drape, orange, and Pit in their Infec tion, and wilh fields of lndinli Corn, in all the stagna of its srowlh. from the first bright blade to the ripened ear, and with the glad Uuph and gay song of a cnro- less and happy peasantry. u the summit of a neighboring hill, overlooking and commanding the village, are probably the ruins of a fort, it may be of Moorish or even of Roman origin. Thouph so thickly peopled, the general aspect of the country is solitary i you pass leagues without seeing a house or sign of uiiuiati habitation. The population is concentrated in villages, The valleys along the rivers are cullivntetl to their ut most capacity, and the rest oi me isnci led uy goats ami sheep, or cropped of its ferns for manure lor Ihe river tioiioms. Another feature of the social state here, entirely un like our own. is that the soil is owned mainly by tho nobility, who reside for tba moat part of the year or entirely In the city, and cultivate tueir aetata by agents. To these estates are attached vast numbers of servants and dependants, who, in their health and strength, perform the labor of the country, and iu sick cess and old age live upon their master's bounty. In such a climate their wants are few. Very little shelter and clothing are required, and nobody can storvo where bread is good and plenty, and fresh fruits are always blushing on the vine aud the loaded branches of the trees, by Ihe way side, and along every streamlet. 1 never saw a beggar in the country, except on the rood to Cintra. In the towns they are frequent; and the liberality with which all clasiea of the Portuguese meet their incessant demand is an honor to human nature. A proud spirit might disdain to beg, but a beggar ii never denied here, and the charities of this country are exemplary. 1 have only room to mention one thing more that may interest you in the condition of tho country; and that is the distinction between the Government and tho people. Tho Government is chiefly at Lisbon and Oporto. These cities comprise, perhaps, four huu-dred thousand of the three aud a half millions of the papulation of Portugal. And yet, as far as I am able to learn, the Government acts and is acted upon mainly iu these cities. Tho Government is poor; the people aro by no means so. There is vast wealth in Lisbon, and abundance all over the country. The Government nnd ergons a revolution, and the people are very little affected by it, most of them little interested in it. It has not connected itself with them by any great system of domestic policy ; and no strong ties are violated when ono set of men goes out of power aud another comes in. Being benefitted by no vital agency of the pub tic authorities, unfolding the resour-cotfaml stimulating the enterprise of the people, tho people are nut pouring their cheerful contributions, or unconscious supplies, into the public treasury. The present Government appears to me to have the requisite character for beneficent authority. It is unselfish, patriotic, and bold. It does not hesitate to incur reproach at home and abroad by doing its duty to the country. If it cannot pay the public creditor, it does not delude him with false hopes. It comes out and confesses its inability. It is at work, with an honest zeal, in the improvement of the tariff, in tho construction of roads, and in the economical administration of the Governmont. Correspondence of I lie Now York Tribune, THE REVOLUTION IN CHINA LETTER FROM BAYARD TAYLOR. Macao. March 20, 1853. I flume here this morning in the United Riates steamer SiiNqnehnnna from Hong Kong, nnd leave in her tomorrow morning at 4 o'clock for Shanghai and prnba- oiy nanKing.naviiiR ocenappointeti nttnetio to inoem- biissy by Colonel Marshall for that purpose. Tho Mississippi has not yet nrtived, but the Saratoga , Ply- mourn, mm supply are hero. lou must know that the rebellion in tho provinces has gained so much power as tothreoten the stability of) the empire. Tho rebels hove taken several important cities lately, and nt last advices were advancing on Nanking. It Is feared that the latter city is already in Iheir bunds. The Emperor is alarmed, and has removed from Seu. tho commissioner, who is now at iho seat nf war, the dignity of the double, peacock's feather. About ten days ngo Kir George Benham, the Governor of Hong Kong, received n mossnce from thoToii-ty of (Shanghai, requesting that some British vessels of war should be sent to protect that port. This request was immndiately complied with. Hir George left in the war-steamer Hermes, leaving the Halamiinder, Lilly, and one other to follow. This is Iho first time that any Chiuesn dignitary has asked assistance of a foreign power. But for tho perversity of Commodore Aulick, who has just left for the United States, our Government might have furnished this assistance, nnd thereby oh turned a claim to further concessions on tho pjrt of China. Colonel Marshall, a month ago, foresaw Iho present emergency, nnd requested to be conveyed to Shanghai in the Susquehanna, but was very ungracious ly ret used ny uommoiioro AuiicR. It is cinrnaiilo to attribute tho ollicer' conduct to his bodily infirmities, mr no ii an uurimuijr ni icu ill a iiiiiiiiii-i 111111 II iscreo liable to his stntion. During tholnte trip of ihe Susquehanna to Manilla, the sloop-of-war Saratoga conveyed Colonel Marshall, in his character of envoy to Wham-poa. Immediately on Commodore Aulick's return, he sent a peremptory message to Captain Walker, of tho Saratoga, to come back to Hong Kmig, and subjected him to a court-martial, for alleged disobedience of orders. The finding of the officers composing the court was, that Captain Walker was not only not guilty of ihe charges, but that he would have been justly nmonabte had he noted otherwise than he did. Commodore Au-lick's course in this and other respects has been a source of great annoyance and disgust to all tho American residents here. His successor, Commodore Buchanan, nn the contrary, wins good opinions on all sides, by his frank, prompt and conscientious discharge of the duties of lus station. Colonel Marshal, finding no authorities nt Canton who wore empowered to treat with him, has determined to go to Shanghai, wilh the expectation of pro ceeding to Nanking, where Sen, Ihe Imperial Commissioner, remains at present, endeavoring to check the progress of the rebels. It is expected that the .la panose expedition will rendezvous nt Shanghai, and tho Susquehanna will theroforo do good service in the meantime in supporting tho embassy. Tho rebels boldly avow iheir intention of overthrowing the present dynasty. They exhibit the greatest skill and judgment in their operations, and iheir career is marked by a succession of uninterrupted triumphs. They retain no city or fortress which ihey capture, respect private prnpei ty, commit no outrages on indi Vlduals, aim seek to conciliate tlioso Whom they con quer. 1 he consequence is, thotr ranks are continually increasing, and unless checked be I ore long, they will succeed in iheir ninn. The British steamers ostensibly go up to protect British propery in Shanghai. It is not known whether they will do more than this, since, should the rebels succeed, tho probable effect will be, to open all parts or China to the world. The crisis is intensely interesting. It Is the first timo in nearly two centuries that the imperial government has been seriously monaced. While these grent movements are going on in Iho north the foreign population of Canton are in a state of great excitement, on account of nn attempt made by French residents to hoist a flag-staff for the tri color in Ihe public garden of that city. The English, American, and Danish flags wave there already, but the French trade and interest are considered loo insignificant to auction one for them. The dispute races fierce and furious, and bets run high on both sides. Philosophical persons attribute Ihe quarrel to tho low stato of tratle nt present, which ronders excitement nf some sort absolutely necessary. The pirates continue their depredations ntong tho coast. The Hermes brought in fivo piratical junks the other day, which she captured after sumo resistance without the loss nf a man. Thirty-live persons wero convicted nnd sent to Canton to be executed. The hay is not free, but I have heard of no attacks lately. Thero was some firing last night nt midnight among the islands, but nothing has transpired in relation to it. Hr. liowrlng, the nntisn Uonsui, has gone to Java for a few months. There is a rumor here that the post of Minister to the United States has beon offered to him, in despatches received by tho Inst mail from England. B. T. THE EMPRESS EUGENIA AND MRS. HOWARD. Tho Parisian correspondent of the Philadelphia Beg-ister, under date of 5th instant, gives the following trench niorceaui Tho Paris papers by this week's steamer, will an-nouiico to you ihe arent atllictln which has just befal len ihe Imperial family; "lo grand malheur qui vient de trapper latamiHo imperiale' ) Lut, for the very good reason thut they dare not, thoy will not tell you of the rircuinstancea which led to this mislortune. You nnd your redura perhaps will scarcely credit what I relate, but I assure you that here it is not only believed, but vouched for by persons whoso veracity it is impossible todouht. In ihe saloons, iu mo clubs, in the ateliers, nothing ia talked of; and the police is daily arresting persons imprudent enough to discuss the matter in the streets. You are probably aware that a tew days before hn marriage, i.outs napoleon dismissed Mrs. Howard, the mother of his three little girls, and she took refuge in Englnnd. He had offorod her a residence and a pension in France, but this she refused. Two weeks ago, she relumed to Paris, on bus! ness, probably, though many say she came by the Em poror request. Be that as it may, Iho Empress heard of her arrival, and was highly indignant that sheshould have been allowed lo enter France. ' Theretion a conjugal Caudle scene, at the end of which her Majesty declared that if she mot Mrs, Howard, she would punish her for her presumption, nnd' dive hern lesson which "he would remember. His Majesty merely shrugged his shoulders at this threat, doubtless thinking it nothing more than an ebullition of words, which would be forgotten with tho exche-meut which caused it. Ho was ton confident, and the Empress was as good as her promise. Tho very next day, while riding in the Bois de Boulogne on her spirited Andalusian, and accompanied only by her Indies and nnom s, she stopped in a by -road by a carriage. At first, the Empress was about to turn aside, and I -t the enrringe pass; but, glancing nt its occupant, she recognized Mrs. Howard, and, determining not to give her the road, she reined up her horse, and wailed for the enrringe to turn out of tlm way. But Mrs, How-nrd had recognized her rivnl also, and calling up her pride and spirit, she ordered her coachman not to give the road. A few words were exchanged between the latter and the Empress' attendants, but he refused tu go con trary to ins orders. Alter a moment a suspense, uur-insr which the twu ladies "fasaient dea Brands yeux," made big eye at each other, tho Empress galloped to tlm tide of the carriage, and, in a most Impolite man ner, struck Mrs. Howard with her riding whip. 1 he other raised herpanuol, and, before the attendants could interfere, a regular battle began between the wnin and ihe parasol end the tongues of their owners, until the whip being the stronger of tho two, broke the parasol, and Mrs, Howard sauk hack, fainting on the carriage cushinss, her toilette and curls in a deplorable state, while the Empress, who had received no visible damage, gave a triumphant little laugh, struck her apur into her horse's side and galloped away, followed by her suite, evory member of which was stupefied by the scene which they had been forced to witness. But a crowd had already collected, aud a few gens d' amies coming up, Mrs. Howard was carried iuto a house near by, where her wounds for the lash had left moro than one mark upon her faco and hands-were dressed, nnd the disorder of her toilette repaired ; and, when the idlers had all departed, she repaired to Paris, whero she ia still quite ill. As to the Empress, she finished her ride, and returned to ihe Tuilleries as if nothing had happened; but that very night M. Du bois, who had received the appointment of aecoiuheitr to Her Majesty only a few days before, was sent for, and 48 hours afterwards the Empress becamo so unwell that there was no longer any doubt that Louis Napoleon's hopes of an heir were going to be destroy ed. The matter was, as much as possible, kept secret, and Her Majesty was reported as merely suffering un der a slight indisposition. But the whole city was already talking of the scene in the Bois do Boulogne, and tho result of the indisposition was anticipated sov oral days before it actually took place. On Friday lust the Empress s hie was in danger lor several Hours; but thanks to the skillful treatment, aud the mass the Emperor ordered tn be said in tho Imperial Cbnpvl, he became belter before night, and is now rapidly convalescing. Tho Emperor has been to see Mrs. Howard, it i said, to express his sympathy, aud sends an aide decamp twice a day to inquire after her health. Whether ibis is any proof that he takes sides with his former favorite, it is hard to say, for he is reported as being very attentive at the bedside of the Empress also. His i anger nt the scandal caused by his wife's conduct must ; bo considerably mounted by ine reflection inai iovo for him was the motive, and gratified vanity will prob ably prevent bis chiding either lady for imprudence. Tho different little trips to the norihof France which were projected for the summer, will now be abandon-ed, and St. Cloud will be tho Imperial residence for the season, the physicians having proscribed quiet and repose for Her Majesty.

Even the gravity of my venerable iriend yielded tu this assault. With all his faults, it has always seemed to us that there wua much to admire tu the stern severity of Cromwell. That be was a hypocrite, with murder in uia Bimie ; a formalist m religion, with no genuine piety in Ida soul ; a hater of royalty while secretly desi ring to grasp the sceptre ana the crown, no impartial reader of his eventful life can for a moment deny. But there was something almost approaching the sublime in tbe stern severity of the man iu tho fearlessness of his great soul. Common minds withered before its fierce influence ; groat minds bowed themselves before tnat iron will, tu whose pathway no dilliculty dared to lurk. These thought have been suggested by reading Cromwell's speech on dissolving the Long Parliament which may be found in the Parliamentary Debates. vve nave never met wun it eisewhero; and tiniiK it will bo new to a grent majority of our readers.

The baker's dozen or so of cracked-brained philosophers and reformers, who make their successive ap pearance every spring at Women'aRights Conventions, anti-slavery gatherings, moral reform meetings, A-c, nave nnu a nice time among themselves at Hartford, Conn., last week, in banging away at the Bible, and trying, with muddled brains aud exhaustions gab, to u.iitj ium (piesuon, lvuo maae ine moiei aud now much of it, if any, is to bo believed T and other colla teral questions. A correspondent of ihe New York Tribune gives a funny account of the doings of this Bible, or rather Auli-Bible Convention, parts of which we kivp uoiow ; 1 he Jackson Davis' Convention, to decide tinon the authenticity of the Bible, met and held its first session tins morning. Tbe Convention waa held in an nld ehnrrh with iIia pulpit knocked away, intended to be symbolical, we presume, of the fate that awaits the Bible. An old, huge-paw of a fellow, in one of the back pow, at the opening of the Convention suggested doubts, however. about this result, ns he said he thought tho Spiritualists woinu now una meir matcn a they bad got into a tussle with Ihe Almighty. The assemblv waa not nu merous. The concourse was, however, motley there being a sprinkling of blacks, persons with unshorn beards, women of a very quarterof-a-dollarisb air, and men of longing and enthusiastic aspects. There were those who seemed to t e ambitious to play the Christ of the movement, in so far tis it could be done by parting their bait on their foreheads, aud leaving it uncut behind, and wearing beard to match. iho meeting was opened with a small sized Bine, in one corner ol the church, under tbe gallery, exhibiting a kind of deference to evangelical modes of proceeding, which we presume was designed tu conciliate orthodox prejudices. Mr. Androw Jackson Davis was introduced to the audience, and read an address of an hour. The manner and remarks of Andrew were calculated lo produce ihe impression that it was hii Con vention, tie said iho clergy had a luptrttttum that the Biblo rested on a stuble foundation. He. however. believed ihut "God writes his roligion on the everlasting hills," and gave room, by a broad tint, for tho inference that he had never had any special conference with Moses. After Mr. Davis, thero arose a burly fellow in tho rear of the Church who vocilorouslv denounced ttm Hia. course ot Andrew, as treason to tbe government, and treason mine Mihie, and treason to all .religion, and branding it wilh varied nrma of infamy. ' After ihis splurge, a cray man from Wisconsin mounted Iho stage and addressed the audience for about fifteen minutes, uttering all manner of nonsense. dui now ami men droppiog a remark not destitute of point, tie, like the lathers and more sane membersnf the Convention, had evidently been damaged in the upper story by spiritual exercises, and hud drabbled through the mire of dogmatic theology till he had become lost in titter bewilderment. After him Henry 0. Wright spoke to rebuke the im petuous castigatur of Mr Davis, and to avow that ho rejected Iho Bible, and meant to say just what he thought. Then followed an aged gentleman, by the name of Wm. Stillman. nilold wheel-horse in tho canst. of anti-slavery and free-discusnon, who was so full of nis subject mat he con ut not well get out what he had to say. " I know," said h, " that the Bible is true, and that it is the Word of God, and I know that tou cannot shake ihat. You may bring nn your learned men, nnd your ingenious men I don't care for all of them. 1 know my Bible is true, and you can't show it to be otherwise. It is nil I've cot left in this world, aud I mean to stick to it. If I cannot rely upon that, I cannot rely upon anything. But I don't tear it will fall from all your attack. I just ns much expect this huuso will fall upon my head nnd bury me beneath its ruins as that the Bible will fall. I don't care for your great men, nor your little men. I hope you will excuse me, but I must say that while I agree with yon iipiui mo rum question, anu ine slavery question, and upon many oiner questions upon tins, I pity your de litiion. You had better stick to anti-slaverv and anti- rum. And this is just the place to begin.

We clip the following article from Ihe Cincinnati Commercial of Monday : "On to-morrow, the peerless Jacob Strader will hoist her silken banner, and proceed to Louisville on a trial trip. Only persons receiving tickets of invitation will bo allowed on hoard. It was found necessary to take tin precaution, tn order to avoid the inconvenience of being excessively and uncomfortably crowded. We published her dimensions some weeks eince, but it may not be inappropriate to repeat ihem t Length of hull i :I3 feet; extreme length of deck 31n ; width over whoel-houso f!9 ; length of main cabin, 300. The cylinders of her condensing engine aro 00 hichea in diameter, with 10 feet stroke. The water wheels are 40 feet in diameter, wilh 13 feet buckets, 26 bucket to each wheel. Her total coil will be at least 1 150,-000.The hull and cabin were built by Johnson, Morton, & Co : the engines are from the foundry of A. Hark ness, Moore & Co., the upholstery is by Ben Knight, of Cissily's Row it required 600 matrasses to fill her berths, and her floors are covered by 1,300 yards of tapestry carpet, i rustle pattern, one ol the latest and richest styles. Tbe gorgeous stained glass, through which tho light streams mellowed and tinged, is from the Blast-staining establishment of Kreyenhageo St, Burcund. of Third street. The splendid cabinet fur niture of the ladies cabin and ladies' saloon, was furnished by Shaw, of fourth street. The mirror for ihe barber shop, the large mirror for the ladiea' saloon, (78 inch plate) the cane-bottomed chairs for the main cabin, and a fow other unimportant items were sent from Louisville. In the main cabin are ten chandelier, from Baker & Von Phut, on Main street. The number of lights on the boat is GO t over each Is suspended a smoke-bell, looking very much like a huge inverted blue-hell flower. Tho stands for the water coolers, with beautiful marble tops, Iho finest we have seen, and the elegant and convenient wash-stands for the state rooms, are from Decamp' cabinet warerooom nn front street. The of namenlal work of the cabin, which is rich, neat and artistic, must he credited tu Wiswell.of Maiu street. The great mirmra occupying the ex t re mo end of the la-die' cabin, and relleciing thj whole length of the main cabin on their wide and immaculate surface, were also furnished by Wiswell.

Tlio wreaths of flowers, Cupids and white dovea, in the bridal chamber, are exceedingly well executed. A general superintendence over the construction, fin ishing and furnishing, of the entire boat, has been no sinecure tu Capt. Pearce. His vigilance, judgment and protesntonal skill has been constantly required, and their results are observable in m thy points by tbe t-ye of a river man.

One would suppose that tbe history of navigation on the Western rivers for tbe last lew years, written as it is in death agonies of hundreds of victims, would of itself be enough to frighten the recklessness of that region Into caution, and it mad spirit of racing iuto a rate of peed consistent witli safety. But it seems that it is not. The dead are all forgotten a fast as they aro burned or crushed to death, or drowned, or blown in blackened masses into the air, and the only question is which boat can so the fastest from New Orleans to Cincinnati, and how many bet can be bad on the race. u the St. Louis. Louisville, and New Orleans papers of the latest dates, and in which the Norwalk catastrophe is chronicled, we have slowing accouuts of tho ra cing now going on between the steamers J. M. White, the brag boat of St. Louis, the Zcliptc, the brag boat of Louisville, and the E, N. Shotmll. The White was built nine year ago.and up to tho present time has been considered the fastest boat, but some few dny since the Ee'ipte determined to beat her at any cost. wun mis view, sue waa stripped lor tbo race at i,ouis-ville, and went to Now Orleans minus all her spars, and everything calculated to impede her progresa. fih maue me most complete arrangements for the upward trip. Steamboats were placed ut two points with steam up, and ready to be lashed to tho Eclipse, from which she received supplies of wood without a moment's detention. The result waa that she made the trip from New Orleans to Cairo in three dav four hours and twenty-five minute, beating the White lyo honn and seventeen minute. The Eclipse having beaten the White, a grand race against time next came off to determine whether tbo Shotwell could not beat the Eclipte. A letter from New Orleans states that about halt a million of money wns bet on the race. The dock at New Orleans was crowded to witness ihe starting. It is said that the Eclivte took no freight but wood and one hundred barrelt of tar. ine anotweu nuu me same quantity ol combustibles, but not so mauy passengers the former bavin.; two hundred. The fetter referred to further states that the departure was something of a sight ; a gun fired for her to get out into tbe stream, ann'lier to start, and when she had gone, still another to time her by. At the re port oi wie tast gun, iue people took out their watches and " bet furiously." The telegraphs at every point wero kept employed during the race, aud the greatest excitement prevailed . It is a mailer of dispute which boat beat. T,t , mif ville Courier says that ihe Eelipte wns the w nrer. bv some 20 minutes ; but the friends of xhvfihoh lit claim from 1 to 20 minute on their boat. Accord- to the memorandum kept by Ihe officers of the Sht ell, she made the trio in 4 day 9 hours and 'JO minutes, und the Eclipte in 4 days 0 hours and 30 minutes. It expected that tbe two boats will run the race o'i again. Doubtless they will; and this raeins -villconi i.imiil this Moloch of steam racing shall give tn ihe rivrr another installment of human victims as if buy by Ihe awful sacrifice the privilege to ntinihilnt? lisisn ' units bosom. Then there will be a pause for ttv ment, and then again in with the tar and (own wi'b the valve until more victims are wanted.

SPEECH DELIVERED BY VICT0H HUGO At the Grave of a French Befagoe in the Island of leney. In the last day of April the French refugees in the iile of Jersey folio wed one of their comrade to the field of final repute. Victor Hugo bad been requested to pronounce, in tho name of all, the last firuwell. Hii discourse waa as follows : Citizens: Tho mnn to whom we have come to any the last farewoll, .lean Hosquet, of l'arn et Garonne, was a noble soldier of Democracy. We have seen hiin,anintlxible exile, waste away sorrowfully among us. A yearning for home was gnawing at his heart; he felt that the recollection of nil he hud left behind him was slowly poisoning him; ho might have soen again hit absent friends, the beloved places his native city, his house. He had but to Buy a word. Tuo execrable humiliation which M. Bonaparte calls am-nesty, or pardon, was offered to him; ho honestly re jected tt, and ho is dead. He was only thirty-four years of age. And now, them he lies. I will not add praises to this simple life, to this grand death. Let him repose in pence in this obscure grave, where the enrth will soon cover him, and whence his soul bus gone to seek the eternal hopes of tho tomb. Let him sb-ep here, this republican; nnd let ihn people know that there are still proud and pure hearts devoted to its cause. Let the republic know that mnn will perish rather than forsake her. Lot France know that men die became they can see her no more. Let him sleep, this patriot, in the land ol the stranger! And wo, his companions in conflict and adversity we who closed his eyes if bis native city, his family, his friends, ask us, "YVherois he J" we wilt answer, 11 Dead in exile 1" as the soldiery, when the name of Latour d'Ativergne was called, answered, " Dead on the field of honor!" Citizens ! To-day in France apojttacy is joyous. The old land of the 14th of July and of the 10th of August assists at the hideous spread of treason, and ut the triumphal march of traitors. Not oneunworthy action which is notimmediately rewarded. A mayor breaks the lawhe is made a prefect; a soldier dishonors his flag he lsmade a gonerali a priest soils his religion he is made a bishop ; a judge prostrates justice he is made a senator; a prince, an adverturer, commit ovary crime, from the base trick which would shame a pick pocket, to the cruelly which would umkoauassa in thudder and he become an emperor. Around and about these men are the sounds of triumnhal mu sic, boquets, and dancing, addresses, applause, and genuflexions, (servility cuutci to congratulate ignominy.uuizensi 1 nose men navo their festivals I well, we, too, have ours. When one of the companions of our banishment, wasted by home-sickneis, exhausted by the slow fover of old habits broken up and atVections lacerated, gives way at last, and dies after having drunk to the dregs all tho agonies of proscription, wo follow his bier covered with a black cloth; we come to the aide of his grave; wo, too, kneel, not to success, but to the tomb; we! bend over our buried brother. and we say to him: "Friend, we congratulate theo because tuuu hast tiecn valiant ; we congratulate thee because thuu hast been ceueroiis and inlruoid : wk o jngratulato then because thou hast been faithful ; wo congratulate thee because thou bnst ottered up to thy republican faith the last breath of thy body, the last pulsation of thy heart; we congratulate thee because thou hast suffered ; we congratulate theo that thou art dead ! " Then we raise our heads again, and we move away, our hearts full of a sombre joy. Nuch are the lostivais oi exiles. 1 his is the nusteru and serene tuo'i which is at the bottom of our souls; nnd in the pros ence of this sepulchre, of this grief which seems to wallow up a man, the presence of this appearance nf annihilation, we feel ourselvei strengthened in our principles and in our convictions. The man whose mind is made np never treads more firmly than nn tbu shifting soil of the tomb. Anil our eyes fixed noon this being who has faded away, upon this shadow which has vanished, we, unshaken believers, glorify that which is immortal, and that which is eternal l.iborty and God. Yes, God! Never should a tomb be cloied until this great, this living word has fallen into it ! Tho dead claim it, and we are not the men to refuse it. Let the free and religious people amongst whom we live understand we'l that the men of progress, tho men of democracy, iho men nf revolution, know that the destiny of the soul is two fold, and that the abnegation they show in this life proves how profoundly llhiy rely upon another. Their faith in this grand nuil mysterious futnro resists even the repulsive spectacle which the enslaved Catholic clerny has presented since tho second of De cember. At this mornont, Roman papism startles ihe human conscience. Yes, I say it and my heart is full nf bitterness when 1 think of so much ahiectiiess and shame; these priests who, lor money, lor palaces, for crosses and mitres, for the love of temporal goods, bless and glorify perjury, murder and treason these church-ei, where T I) turn t are suns in honor of crowned crime yes, these churebe aud these priests would bo enough lo shake the strongest convictions in the firmest souls, if beyond the church we did not see a heaven, and above the priest a God. And here,citieu, on the throshold of this open tomb -in tho midst of this thoughtful throng which surrounds this grave the moment has come to soiiud a solemn word, that may takB rout aud spring up in every conscience. Citiiensl At this prosant hour this fatal hour which will be marked in times to come the principle of absolutism, the old principle of the past triumphs all over Europe. It triumphs as it should triumph, by the word, the axe, and the cord ; by massacres ond musketry ; by tortures and the scstlold. Despotism, that MoW-lt surrounded by human bones, celebrates her learlul mysteries in open sunlight, tinder tho ponim cate of a Haynatt, a Bona parte, and a Rndotzkyi it Hungary, the gallows; in Lombard v, the sallows, in Sicily, the gallows; in Franco, the guillotine, transportation, aud exile. In the Pnjwl Slates atone I rite the Pope, who calls himself la roi de douce in the Papal 8 tales alono, in the last three years, sixteen hundred aud forty patriots (tho figures are authentic) have perished by shooting or banging, without counting the innumerable many who are buried alive in dungeons. At this moment the continent, as iu the worst periods of hi lory, is encumbered with scaffolds nod corpses; and if, when the day comes, revolution should seek to moke for herself a Hag of tho winding beets of the victims, the shadow of that black tlau would oover all Europe. This blood, which is (lowing in streams and tu torrents all tins blood, democrats, is your. And yet, cltixens, in the preaonce of this eaturnalia of murder, in the presence of theso Intuitions tribunals where assassins sit in the robes of the judge, in tho presence of all these dear and sacred corpses, in the presence oi tins dismal and lerocums victory nl reaction) I declare solemuly in the name of the exiles ul Jersey, who have Riven me the authority to do an: ami I say it too, to the name of all republican exiles aud not one true republican voice will contradict ine I declare before this colli n of an exile, the second one we have lowered into the grave within ten days, wo iho exiles, we tho victims, we abjure, for iho great and inavitanie u.,y oi revolutionary triumph, all Tooling, ii usniro, an mm in uiuoiiy reiriomioii.

The day of uiuoyy revolutions nas passed ; lor what remains to be done the indomitable law of progress will suilice. And, moreover, let us be tranquil; everything combats for us in the great battles we have still to fight battles, whose evident necessity does not disturb the serenity of iho thiukor battles, in which revolutionary energy will equal the desperation of monarchy battles, in which might, joined with right, will overthrow violence allied to usurpation superb, glorious, enthusiastic, decisive battles, the event of which cannot bo doubtful, and which will botheTolhiacs, the Hastings, and the Auterlitzesof democracy. Citizens! the epoch of tho dusoluiion of the Old World has arrived. The law of Providence has condemned the old despotisms. Time, the shadowy grave-digger is burying them Bach declining day pluugos them deeper into nothingness. God is throwing years upon thrones as we throw spades full of oarth upon a coiliu. And now, brothers, as we separate, let us shout the cry oflriumpb; let us shout the cry of awakening! It is near the grave that ono should speak of tho resurrection. Yos, indeed, tho future, and impending future. I repeat it, promises to us the victory of the democratic idea in France; the future promises to us the victory of the social idea. It promises more: it promises that in overy climate, under every sun, upon every continent, in America as well as in Rurope.au end shall otime to oppression and to slavery. After the hard trials we ure experiencing, what we want is not only the emancipation oft hid or that class of men which has suffered long, theHoolition of this or that right all this wo shall huvo; but this is not enough. What we must have, and what we shall gut, never doubt it what I, for my part, from the depth of this darkness of exile contemplate with rapture is tho deliverance of every nation, tho enfranchisement of all mankind ! Friends, our sufferings give us a claim upon Providence. God owes us a reword. Ho is a faithful debtor wo shall receive it. Let us then cherish a manly faith, and mako oar sacrifice with gladness. Oppressed of all nations, offer up your wounds. Poles, otferyour misery; Hungarians, offer your gibbet; Italians, offer your cross; j heroic transported brothers of Cayenne, of Africa, offer i your chains; exiles, offer your proscription; andthonti 0 martyr, idler thy death lo the liberty of the human race! Vivt i.a r1'udmiuk ! THE CHINESE REVOLT. From a file of Hong Kong papers to the 24lh of March, we copy the annexed articles respecting the formidable revolt now spreading through the Chinese Empire. The first in a summary nccmint (from the China Mail) of tho rioo nnd progress nf Iho rebellion ; tliesecoii'J, from tho samu paper, a copy of the Emperor's udict on ilio subject of tho revolt : From tho China Mull of March SI. Tho present rebellions movement we can even now, from our Itmi'ed knowledge, form no just estimate of; and until lately moat people considered it a dinlurbatico originating with a mere band of marauder, having no object in view beyond tho plunder und license of a day. Until very recently, tho sum of what authentic information we possessed did not warrant us iu coming to any other conclusion. Much bands had, since tho days of tho great Coxinga, been of frequent appearance in one part or other of tho Emperor's vast dominions, and of late years they had been remarkably troublesome in the province of Kwatig-tung Canton, directing their energies chiefly to pawnbrokers' shops (often the banking-houses nf China), and oven Iu Iho Government treasuries. Wo can call to mind several gans robberies of this nature, iu which ihe private, residences and public treasuries nf mandarins were most effectually emptied. Hardly less frequent worn tho instances of obnoxious mandarins receiving terrible retribution at tin hands of freebooters; who thus gave to their main object of plunder a sort of meretricious popularity that served litem in pod stead. Oilier cases there were too of largo bodies nf men, become formidable by the spoils o tho sea, lauding on the coast, taking possession of walled towns, and holding litem to ransom: and so completely, nt one season, from these disorders, was native commerce paralyzed, that iu the fertile isluud of Hainan the crops of grain und sugar lay rotting iu the fields, tho customary vessels for their transport having been captured by pi-tates, or remaining idle through fear of capture. From such tow beinnins it is not unlikely ihat the present movement may have arisen : iho transition is easy from a robber to a rebel, and from a rebel to n hero, and perhaps a patriot. Many or most were members of Ihe Triad Hocjely; nnd in this association n successful leader might find the machinery of a politi cal revolution ready to lus hand. Tho professed object of this society is to unsent the Tartar usurper and place a Chinese monarch on the throne : let there be added lo this an infusion of religious etithutiii-m, and we have then iho twu rand requirements of a successful opposition to commuted authority, which noth ing but tlio radical soundness and healthiness of the established order of things is likely to withstand. And mis soundness and Healthiness are wanting. For a long time the rebels seem to have confined themselves to a comparatively remote part of tlio prov ince of Kwang si, and to have contented themselves with levying contributions in money from ihe towns and vilUgea through which they passed ; but two or in roe victories over the wretched levies sent to oppose thetn infused new life and vigor into iheir movements; and, having passed the natural mountainous barrier which separates hwang-si and Iho two adjoining prov-noes from the rest nf China Proper, we find them pass ing with great rapidity through Iho provinces on the other side of this barrier towards tho ancient capital of mo empire, unci exminiing a unity ot design end a tenacity of purpose that betoken tho presence among them of a master spirit. Ami the most novel (en lure of their progress is the display of nn iconoclastic zeal in stratige contrail to the usual Chinese indifference on such subjects; not to ho accounted for by any supposed design to re-establish the monotheism which China, in common with all other nations, in tho earlier and purer unys oi us national exuience no uoum possess u j nor by any Idolatrous association Hint attaches to the pres ent dynasty; for tho image worship ol China was prov alent long belnre Its votaries were compelled to wear tails. The ouly way in which it can he explained is. by supposing the chief himself to have attained some knowledge of the religion of Ihe West, either from books or porsonal instruction, or lliat he has among ins followers and advisers some pro lessors of Mint reliiion. Our latest accounts from Shanghai, mention it as probable that before another packet can be dispatched, Nankin may be no longer garrisoned by the Emperor's troops; thu greatest excitement prevails among the Chinese officials; and the most urgent requisitions are made for troops, ships, and military stores. To men who have an lately traversed about seven hundred miles of country, presenting many natural obstructions. the distance ol some lot) to Kit) more trom Nankin Shanghai, and that if they please on the fair stream of a broad navigable river, is but a step, no formidable a force was never in our neighborhood before, nnd tho it is probably nut their design, as it cannot be their true policy, to molest foreigners, it certainly bhovea us to observe passing events with a very watchful eye, and lo fail in no ronnonablo precaution.

Neither trade nor emigration has brooch t us much into connec tion with it. There are, perhaps, fewer Portuguese In the United States thai) of any other considerable Ruropeau cnuutrv. The Brazils, inhabited and rult d by a people speaking the aume language, and of kindred blood, attract uoarly all emigrants from Ibis country. Portugal is about the size nf Maine, ami has a hun dred inhabitants to each square nulo. Massachusetts. the most densely peopled of the States, has nighty-four inhabitants to the sip in re mile. Its surface is utiliko any thing the trnvoler observes in our own oougtry. it is neither mountainous nor level. The only portion of it which I have personally seen the central part of the Atlantic side, from tho Tagus north about a hundred miles to the Mo nd ego-has some lofty and bold mountains, but generally wenrs the appearance of an originally undulating sur face, deeply cut and turn by floods. The principal roads lie along the higher ridges, and Ihe unlive forests are nearly removed, so that you havo lcan;uu alter lenguo, an almost boundless landscape heloro and behind you, and on either hand. ! From this lerial, free, and of ten wild and grand pas see alone the highroad, where tor Hours you meet no fellow-traveler, and hardly any living thing, unless it be a hawk, sailing far above yon, or a lizard sunning himself in your path, you suddenly descend, many hundred feel, to a cluster of bright white houses wiifi an ancient church and a ruinous convent among them, upon the sides of an unfailing stream. Here, even iu midsummer, when all the upper country is parched anil cracking with a drought that literally burns up every green thing, you aro delighted with a fresh verdure, wilh the Drape, orange, and Pit in their Infec tion, and wilh fields of lndinli Corn, in all the stagna of its srowlh. from the first bright blade to the ripened ear, and with the glad Uuph and gay song of a cnro- less and happy peasantry. u the summit of a neighboring hill, overlooking and commanding the village, are probably the ruins of a fort, it may be of Moorish or even of Roman origin. Thouph so thickly peopled, the general aspect of the country is solitary i you pass leagues without seeing a house or sign of uiiuiati habitation. The population is concentrated in villages, The valleys along the rivers are cullivntetl to their ut most capacity, and the rest oi me isnci led uy goats ami sheep, or cropped of its ferns for manure lor Ihe river tioiioms. Another feature of the social state here, entirely un like our own. is that the soil is owned mainly by tho nobility, who reside for tba moat part of the year or entirely In the city, and cultivate tueir aetata by agents. To these estates are attached vast numbers of servants and dependants, who, in their health and strength, perform the labor of the country, and iu sick cess and old age live upon their master's bounty. In such a climate their wants are few. Very little shelter and clothing are required, and nobody can storvo where bread is good and plenty, and fresh fruits are always blushing on the vine aud the loaded branches of the trees, by Ihe way side, and along every streamlet. 1 never saw a beggar in the country, except on the rood to Cintra. In the towns they are frequent; and the liberality with which all clasiea of the Portuguese meet their incessant demand is an honor to human nature. A proud spirit might disdain to beg, but a beggar ii never denied here, and the charities of this country are exemplary. 1 have only room to mention one thing more that may interest you in the condition of tho country; and that is the distinction between the Government and tho people. Tho Government is chiefly at Lisbon and Oporto. These cities comprise, perhaps, four huu-dred thousand of the three aud a half millions of the papulation of Portugal. And yet, as far as I am able to learn, the Government acts and is acted upon mainly iu these cities. Tho Government is poor; the people aro by no means so. There is vast wealth in Lisbon, and abundance all over the country. The Government nnd ergons a revolution, and the people are very little affected by it, most of them little interested in it. It has not connected itself with them by any great system of domestic policy ; and no strong ties are violated when ono set of men goes out of power aud another comes in. Being benefitted by no vital agency of the pub tic authorities, unfolding the resour-cotfaml stimulating the enterprise of the people, tho people are nut pouring their cheerful contributions, or unconscious supplies, into the public treasury. The present Government appears to me to have the requisite character for beneficent authority. It is unselfish, patriotic, and bold. It does not hesitate to incur reproach at home and abroad by doing its duty to the country. If it cannot pay the public creditor, it does not delude him with false hopes. It comes out and confesses its inability. It is at work, with an honest zeal, in the improvement of the tariff, in tho construction of roads, and in the economical administration of the Governmont. Correspondence of I lie Now York Tribune, THE REVOLUTION IN CHINA LETTER FROM BAYARD TAYLOR. Macao. March 20, 1853. I flume here this morning in the United Riates steamer SiiNqnehnnna from Hong Kong, nnd leave in her tomorrow morning at 4 o'clock for Shanghai and prnba- oiy nanKing.naviiiR ocenappointeti nttnetio to inoem- biissy by Colonel Marshall for that purpose. Tho Mississippi has not yet nrtived, but the Saratoga , Ply- mourn, mm supply are hero. lou must know that the rebellion in tho provinces has gained so much power as tothreoten the stability of) the empire. Tho rebels hove taken several important cities lately, and nt last advices were advancing on Nanking. It Is feared that the latter city is already in Iheir bunds. The Emperor is alarmed, and has removed from Seu. tho commissioner, who is now at iho seat nf war, the dignity of the double, peacock's feather. About ten days ngo Kir George Benham, the Governor of Hong Kong, received n mossnce from thoToii-ty of (Shanghai, requesting that some British vessels of war should be sent to protect that port. This request was immndiately complied with. Hir George left in the war-steamer Hermes, leaving the Halamiinder, Lilly, and one other to follow. This is Iho first time that any Chiuesn dignitary has asked assistance of a foreign power. But for tho perversity of Commodore Aulick, who has just left for the United States, our Government might have furnished this assistance, nnd thereby oh turned a claim to further concessions on tho pjrt of China. Colonel Marshall, a month ago, foresaw Iho present emergency, nnd requested to be conveyed to Shanghai in the Susquehanna, but was very ungracious ly ret used ny uommoiioro AuiicR. It is cinrnaiilo to attribute tho ollicer' conduct to his bodily infirmities, mr no ii an uurimuijr ni icu ill a iiiiiiiiii-i 111111 II iscreo liable to his stntion. During tholnte trip of ihe Susquehanna to Manilla, the sloop-of-war Saratoga conveyed Colonel Marshall, in his character of envoy to Wham-poa. Immediately on Commodore Aulick's return, he sent a peremptory message to Captain Walker, of tho Saratoga, to come back to Hong Kmig, and subjected him to a court-martial, for alleged disobedience of orders. The finding of the officers composing the court was, that Captain Walker was not only not guilty of ihe charges, but that he would have been justly nmonabte had he noted otherwise than he did. Commodore Au-lick's course in this and other respects has been a source of great annoyance and disgust to all tho American residents here. His successor, Commodore Buchanan, nn the contrary, wins good opinions on all sides, by his frank, prompt and conscientious discharge of the duties of lus station. Colonel Marshal, finding no authorities nt Canton who wore empowered to treat with him, has determined to go to Shanghai, wilh the expectation of pro ceeding to Nanking, where Sen, Ihe Imperial Commissioner, remains at present, endeavoring to check the progress of the rebels. It is expected that the .la panose expedition will rendezvous nt Shanghai, and tho Susquehanna will theroforo do good service in the meantime in supporting tho embassy. Tho rebels boldly avow iheir intention of overthrowing the present dynasty. They exhibit the greatest skill and judgment in their operations, and iheir career is marked by a succession of uninterrupted triumphs. They retain no city or fortress which ihey capture, respect private prnpei ty, commit no outrages on indi Vlduals, aim seek to conciliate tlioso Whom they con quer. 1 he consequence is, thotr ranks are continually increasing, and unless checked be I ore long, they will succeed in iheir ninn. The British steamers ostensibly go up to protect British propery in Shanghai. It is not known whether they will do more than this, since, should the rebels succeed, tho probable effect will be, to open all parts or China to the world. The crisis is intensely interesting. It Is the first timo in nearly two centuries that the imperial government has been seriously monaced. While these grent movements are going on in Iho north the foreign population of Canton are in a state of great excitement, on account of nn attempt made by French residents to hoist a flag-staff for the tri color in Ihe public garden of that city. The English, American, and Danish flags wave there already, but the French trade and interest are considered loo insignificant to auction one for them. The dispute races fierce and furious, and bets run high on both sides. Philosophical persons attribute Ihe quarrel to tho low stato of tratle nt present, which ronders excitement nf some sort absolutely necessary. The pirates continue their depredations ntong tho coast. The Hermes brought in fivo piratical junks the other day, which she captured after sumo resistance without the loss nf a man. Thirty-live persons wero convicted nnd sent to Canton to be executed. The hay is not free, but I have heard of no attacks lately. Thero was some firing last night nt midnight among the islands, but nothing has transpired in relation to it. Hr. liowrlng, the nntisn Uonsui, has gone to Java for a few months. There is a rumor here that the post of Minister to the United States has beon offered to him, in despatches received by tho Inst mail from England. B. T. THE EMPRESS EUGENIA AND MRS. HOWARD. Tho Parisian correspondent of the Philadelphia Beg-ister, under date of 5th instant, gives the following trench niorceaui Tho Paris papers by this week's steamer, will an-nouiico to you ihe arent atllictln which has just befal len ihe Imperial family; "lo grand malheur qui vient de trapper latamiHo imperiale' ) Lut, for the very good reason thut they dare not, thoy will not tell you of the rircuinstancea which led to this mislortune. You nnd your redura perhaps will scarcely credit what I relate, but I assure you that here it is not only believed, but vouched for by persons whoso veracity it is impossible todouht. In ihe saloons, iu mo clubs, in the ateliers, nothing ia talked of; and the police is daily arresting persons imprudent enough to discuss the matter in the streets. You are probably aware that a tew days before hn marriage, i.outs napoleon dismissed Mrs. Howard, the mother of his three little girls, and she took refuge in Englnnd. He had offorod her a residence and a pension in France, but this she refused. Two weeks ago, she relumed to Paris, on bus! ness, probably, though many say she came by the Em poror request. Be that as it may, Iho Empress heard of her arrival, and was highly indignant that sheshould have been allowed lo enter France. ' Theretion a conjugal Caudle scene, at the end of which her Majesty declared that if she mot Mrs, Howard, she would punish her for her presumption, nnd' dive hern lesson which "he would remember. His Majesty merely shrugged his shoulders at this threat, doubtless thinking it nothing more than an ebullition of words, which would be forgotten with tho exche-meut which caused it. Ho was ton confident, and the Empress was as good as her promise. Tho very next day, while riding in the Bois de Boulogne on her spirited Andalusian, and accompanied only by her Indies and nnom s, she stopped in a by -road by a carriage. At first, the Empress was about to turn aside, and I -t the enrringe pass; but, glancing nt its occupant, she recognized Mrs. Howard, and, determining not to give her the road, she reined up her horse, and wailed for the enrringe to turn out of tlm way. But Mrs, How-nrd had recognized her rivnl also, and calling up her pride and spirit, she ordered her coachman not to give the road. A few words were exchanged between the latter and the Empress' attendants, but he refused tu go con trary to ins orders. Alter a moment a suspense, uur-insr which the twu ladies "fasaient dea Brands yeux," made big eye at each other, tho Empress galloped to tlm tide of the carriage, and, in a most Impolite man ner, struck Mrs. Howard with her riding whip. 1 he other raised herpanuol, and, before the attendants could interfere, a regular battle began between the wnin and ihe parasol end the tongues of their owners, until the whip being the stronger of tho two, broke the parasol, and Mrs, Howard sauk hack, fainting on the carriage cushinss, her toilette and curls in a deplorable state, while the Empress, who had received no visible damage, gave a triumphant little laugh, struck her apur into her horse's side and galloped away, followed by her suite, evory member of which was stupefied by the scene which they had been forced to witness. But a crowd had already collected, aud a few gens d' amies coming up, Mrs. Howard was carried iuto a house near by, where her wounds for the lash had left moro than one mark upon her faco and hands-were dressed, nnd the disorder of her toilette repaired ; and, when the idlers had all departed, she repaired to Paris, whero she ia still quite ill. As to the Empress, she finished her ride, and returned to ihe Tuilleries as if nothing had happened; but that very night M. Du bois, who had received the appointment of aecoiuheitr to Her Majesty only a few days before, was sent for, and 48 hours afterwards the Empress becamo so unwell that there was no longer any doubt that Louis Napoleon's hopes of an heir were going to be destroy ed. The matter was, as much as possible, kept secret, and Her Majesty was reported as merely suffering un der a slight indisposition. But the whole city was already talking of the scene in the Bois do Boulogne, and tho result of the indisposition was anticipated sov oral days before it actually took place. On Friday lust the Empress s hie was in danger lor several Hours; but thanks to the skillful treatment, aud the mass the Emperor ordered tn be said in tho Imperial Cbnpvl, he became belter before night, and is now rapidly convalescing. Tho Emperor has been to see Mrs. Howard, it i said, to express his sympathy, aud sends an aide decamp twice a day to inquire after her health. Whether ibis is any proof that he takes sides with his former favorite, it is hard to say, for he is reported as being very attentive at the bedside of the Empress also. His i anger nt the scandal caused by his wife's conduct must ; bo considerably mounted by ine reflection inai iovo for him was the motive, and gratified vanity will prob ably prevent bis chiding either lady for imprudence. Tho different little trips to the norihof France which were projected for the summer, will now be abandon-ed, and St. Cloud will be tho Imperial residence for the season, the physicians having proscribed quiet and repose for Her Majesty.

Even the gravity of my venerable iriend yielded tu this assault. With all his faults, it has always seemed to us that there wua much to admire tu the stern severity of Cromwell. That be was a hypocrite, with murder in uia Bimie ; a formalist m religion, with no genuine piety in Ida soul ; a hater of royalty while secretly desi ring to grasp the sceptre ana the crown, no impartial reader of his eventful life can for a moment deny. But there was something almost approaching the sublime in tbe stern severity of the man iu tho fearlessness of his great soul.

The baker's dozen or so of cracked-brained philosophers and reformers, who make their successive ap pearance every spring at Women'aRights Conventions, anti-slavery gatherings, moral reform meetings, A-c, nave nnu a nice time among themselves at Hartford, Conn., last week, in banging away at the Bible, and trying, with muddled brains aud exhaustions gab, to u.iitj ium (piesuon, lvuo maae ine moiei aud now much of it, if any, is to bo believed T and other colla teral questions. A correspondent of ihe New York Tribune gives a funny account of the doings of this Bible, or rather Auli-Bible Convention, parts of which we kivp uoiow ; 1 he Jackson Davis' Convention, to decide tinon the authenticity of the Bible, met and held its first session tins morning. Tbe Convention waa held in an nld ehnrrh with iIia pulpit knocked away, intended to be symbolical, we presume, of the fate that awaits the Bible. An old, huge-paw of a fellow, in one of the back pow, at the opening of the Convention suggested doubts, however. about this result, ns he said he thought tho Spiritualists woinu now una meir matcn a they bad got into a tussle with Ihe Almighty. The assemblv waa not nu merous. The concourse was, however, motley there being a sprinkling of blacks, persons with unshorn beards, women of a very quarterof-a-dollarisb air, and men of longing and enthusiastic aspects. There were those who seemed to t e ambitious to play the Christ of the movement, in so far tis it could be done by parting their bait on their foreheads, aud leaving it uncut behind, and wearing beard to match. iho meeting was opened with a small sized Bine, in one corner ol the church, under tbe gallery, exhibiting a kind of deference to evangelical modes of proceeding, which we presume was designed tu conciliate orthodox prejudices. Mr. Androw Jackson Davis was introduced to the audience, and read an address of an hour. The manner and remarks of Andrew were calculated lo produce ihe impression that it was hii Con vention, tie said iho clergy had a luptrttttum that the Biblo rested on a stuble foundation. He. however. believed ihut "God writes his roligion on the everlasting hills," and gave room, by a broad tint, for tho inference that he had never had any special conference with Moses. After Mr. Davis, thero arose a burly fellow in tho rear of the Church who vocilorouslv denounced ttm Hia. course ot Andrew, as treason to tbe government, and treason mine Mihie, and treason to all .religion, and branding it wilh varied nrma of infamy. ' After ihis splurge, a cray man from Wisconsin mounted Iho stage and addressed the audience for about fifteen minutes, uttering all manner of nonsense. dui now ami men droppiog a remark not destitute of point, tie, like the lathers and more sane membersnf the Convention, had evidently been damaged in the upper story by spiritual exercises, and hud drabbled through the mire of dogmatic theology till he had become lost in titter bewilderment. After him Henry 0. Wright spoke to rebuke the im petuous castigatur of Mr Davis, and to avow that ho rejected Iho Bible, and meant to say just what he thought. Then followed an aged gentleman, by the name of Wm. Stillman. nilold wheel-horse in tho canst. of anti-slavery and free-discusnon, who was so full of nis subject mat he con ut not well get out what he had to say. " I know," said h, " that the Bible is true, and that it is the Word of God, and I know that tou cannot shake ihat. You may bring nn your learned men, nnd your ingenious men I don't care for all of them. 1 know my Bible is true, and you can't show it to be otherwise. It is nil I've cot left in this world, aud I mean to stick to it. If I cannot rely upon that, I cannot rely upon anything. But I don't tear it will fall from all your attack. I just ns much expect this huuso will fall upon my head nnd bury me beneath its ruins as that the Bible will fall. I don't care for your great men, nor your little men. I hope you will excuse me, but I must say that while I agree with yon iipiui mo rum question, anu ine slavery question, and upon many oiner questions upon tins, I pity your de litiion. You had better stick to anti-slaverv and anti- rum. And this is just the place to begin. I have iust been to Now York, and that State is coin a ahead in roiorm. jsui as tor Connecticut, slio is going astern, And as for thiicity, it i a sink of pollution. Hartford is nn awful place. It ia no belter than Sodom, and I have fears that God will destroy it." The old man was greeted with feeble applause, and tottered hrk to his seat.

We clip the following article from Ihe Cincinnati Commercial of Monday : "On to-morrow, the peerless Jacob Strader will hoist her silken banner, and proceed to Louisville on a trial trip. Only persons receiving tickets of invitation will bo allowed on hoard. It was found necessary to take tin precaution, tn order to avoid the inconvenience of being excessively and uncomfortably crowded. We published her dimensions some weeks eince, but it may not be inappropriate to repeat ihem t Length of hull i :I3 feet; extreme length of deck 31n ; width over whoel-houso f!9 ; length of main cabin, 300. The cylinders of her condensing engine aro 00 hichea in diameter, with 10 feet stroke. The water wheels are 40 feet in diameter, wilh 13 feet buckets, 26 bucket to each wheel. Her total coil will be at least 1 150,-000.The hull and cabin were built by Johnson, Morton, & Co : the engines are from the foundry of A. Hark ness, Moore & Co., the upholstery is by Ben Knight, of Cissily's Row it required 600 matrasses to fill her berths, and her floors are covered by 1,300 yards of tapestry carpet, i rustle pattern, one ol the latest and richest styles. Tbe gorgeous stained glass, through which tho light streams mellowed and tinged, is from the Blast-staining establishment of Kreyenhageo St, Burcund. of Third street. The splendid cabinet fur niture of the ladies cabin and ladies' saloon, was furnished by Shaw, of fourth street. The mirror for ihe barber shop, the large mirror for the ladiea' saloon, (78 inch plate) the cane-bottomed chairs for the main cabin, and a fow other unimportant items were sent from Louisville. In the main cabin are ten chandelier, from Baker & Von Phut, on Main street. The number of lights on the boat is GO t over each Is suspended a smoke-bell, looking very much like a huge inverted blue-hell flower. Tho stands for the water coolers, with beautiful marble tops, Iho finest we have seen, and the elegant and convenient wash-stands for the state rooms, are from Decamp' cabinet warerooom nn front street. The of namenlal work of the cabin, which is rich, neat and artistic, must he credited tu Wiswell.of Maiu street. The great mirmra occupying the ex t re mo end of the la-die' cabin, and relleciing thj whole length of the main cabin on their wide and immaculate surface, were also furnished by Wiswell. Ihn plate aro 100 inches by 50, and as framed are 11 foi-t in bight and fi feel de. I hey were in trie nrsi place ordered tram Lou isville, but that city could not turn out a plaie large non all. Tho elegant clock nnd masive mirror for the bar-room are put up by Wiswell, and their arrangement is a mspter piece. The very creditable paintings above ihe ollice, aud in the bridal chamber, are by nn Italian artist nam ml Grannie, and were executtd in a singularly short space of time conaideting Iheir delicacy of finish. Tlio wreaths of flowers, Cupids and white dovea, in the bridal chamber, are exceedingly well executed. A general superintendence over the construction, fin ishing and furnishing, of the entire boat, has been no sinecure tu Capt. Pearce. His vigilance, judgment and protesntonal skill has been constantly required, and their results are observable in m thy points by tbe t-ye of a river man. The bar, which is located forward and below the main cabin, will be under the administration of Lyons, well known as a Ben. Franklin man.

One would suppose that tbe history of navigation on the Western rivers for tbe last lew years, written as it is in death agonies of hundreds of victims, would of itself be enough to frighten the recklessness of that region Into caution, and it mad spirit of racing iuto a rate of peed consistent witli safety. But it seems that it is not. The dead are all forgotten a fast as they aro burned or crushed to death, or drowned, or blown in blackened masses into the air, and the only question is which boat can so the fastest from New Orleans to Cincinnati, and how many bet can be bad on the race. u the St. Louis. Louisville, and New Orleans papers of the latest dates, and in which the Norwalk catastrophe is chronicled, we have slowing accouuts of tho ra cing now going on between the steamers J. M. White, the brag boat of St. Louis, the Zcliptc, the brag boat of Louisville, and the E, N. Shotmll. The White was built nine year ago.and up to tho present time has been considered the fastest boat, but some few dny since the Ee'ipte determined to beat her at any cost. wun mis view, sue waa stripped lor tbo race at i,ouis-ville, and went to Now Orleans minus all her spars, and everything calculated to impede her progresa. fih maue me most complete arrangements for the upward trip. Steamboats were placed ut two points with steam up, and ready to be lashed to tho Eclipse, from which she received supplies of wood without a moment's detention. The result waa that she made the trip from New Orleans to Cairo in three dav four hours and twenty-five minute, beating the White lyo honn and seventeen minute. The Eclipse having beaten the White, a grand race against time next came off to determine whether tbo Shotwell could not beat the Eclipte. A letter from New Orleans states that about halt a million of money wns bet on the race. The dock at New Orleans was crowded to witness ihe starting. It is said that the Eclivte took no freight but wood and one hundred barrelt of tar. ine anotweu nuu me same quantity ol combustibles, but not so mauy passengers the former bavin.; two hundred. The fetter referred to further states that the departure was something of a sight ; a gun fired for her to get out into tbe stream, ann'lier to start, and when she had gone, still another to time her by. At the re port oi wie tast gun, iue people took out their watches and " bet furiously." The telegraphs at every point wero kept employed during the race, aud the greatest excitement prevailed . It is a mailer of dispute which boat beat. T,t , mif ville Courier says that ihe Eelipte wns the w nrer. bv some 20 minutes ; but the friends of xhvfihoh lit claim from 1 to 20 minute on their boat. Accord- to the memorandum kept by Ihe officers of the Sht ell, she made the trio in 4 day 9 hours and 'JO minutes, und the Eclipte in 4 days 0 hours and 30 minutes. It expected that tbe two boats will run the race o'i again. Doubtless they will; and this raeins -villconi i.imiil this Moloch of steam racing shall give tn ihe rivrr another installment of human victims as if buy by Ihe awful sacrifice the privilege to ntinihilnt? lisisn ' units bosom. Then there will be a pause for ttv ment, and then again in with the tar and (own wi'b the valve until more victims are wanted.
